Makin Bellissimo Questions & Answers
VerifiedI have purchased a super king bed, which of course is square, so there's no obvious head/foot. Is there a particular way to orient the mattress - for example, is there a particular north/south and if so, how can I identify this?
Hi Narellen, Thanks so much for your purchase. The mattress will have a sash on one of the corners which represents the bottom/foot of the mattress.
We purchased a king size Bellissimo Duo 2000 with a medium topper. Both topper and mattress are turned and flipped fortnightly. My husband is 130kg and i am 80kg. After 6 months the topper now has our 'body imprinted' / 'sagged' impression. One night of sleeping after a turn and flip is the same. We actually wake with sore hip/shoulder pain like pressure points if you were sleeping on the floor. Should we have purchased the firm topper or is this just the way it is with the topper? It is a king size bed and there is a definite space in the middle of the topper which neither of us lay on which you can see raised in the middle of the mattress next to our body imprints
Same here and I am going to do a TP review soon after six months I’m now under care of physio and chiro all due to this rubbish mattress. Just cut loss and get rid of it as U will soon have to do.
Hi HMH Thank you for your comment. The best course of action is to reach out to the store you purchased your mattress from.
We went into the Parkinson Store today and was very impressed by Steve. After going away (we couldnt agree on a base so went away to have that conversation) I dod what I always do and read the reviews. Well, we had decided we were definitely going to get the matress but after reading the reviews, its going to be a no go from us. Which is disappointing because we were genuinely excited about it.
Would anyone have any reccomendations on a suitable matress? We have had our Queen for roughly 10 years and looking to upgrade to a comfortable king.
Hi Petra, Please check the date of the reviews, the Bellissimo was replaced in 2016 and it really is a fantastic mattress. If you are unsure on the Bellissimo we have a wide range of mattresses at all price points. Additionally, you won't find another mattress that is double sided anymore. We specifically make ours this way so they last longer. And when dealing with the manufacturer you are guaranteed, should you need it, quick turnaround on any warranty needs. The Bellissimo comes with a comfort guarantee meaning we'll change the feel of the mattress if you aren't happy with it, once, in the first 5 years of owning it.
I HAVE HAD 2 Madison Matresses. The first for 23 years. CAN'T BEAT THEM FOR COMFORT.
Was going to buy a couple of mattresses. But reading real reveiws put me off
Random question, but do you guys support racing and animal cruelty like Mr Harvey. If not,you should include animal welfare supporter in your advertising.
We are in the market for a new Queen size mattress. After seeing your ads on TV I thought I'd look into this brand as it was Australian made. After reading some of the reviews on here, i will not be considering this brand. I can live with a few complaints, but seriously there are just so many to ignore the ongoing problems this company have with the design of their products. Its so disappointing to see so many people upset, to the extent where there seems no possible way to get a refund on what appears to be a poorly manufactured product. And in your ad, you refer to Mr Harvey...who is this Mr Harvey you refer too? Looks like I'm off to Beds for Backs. I appreciate all those who took the time to post, it's important for consumers to be able to have a voice.
Well product review is for the real whiners and wingers out there so scores are typically lower on this site.
Hi Reg G. Thanks for taking the time to ask a question. The listing you are commenting on is from a discontinued product from over 5 years ago. Additionally with the number of mattresses we make and sell this is not even 1% percentage of our customers.
Do I get the Duet Medium topper replaced without receipt?
I had mine replaced but I had my receipt--guess you should ring them--maybe you can get a copy of your credit card payment to them which should be available from your credit card provider. If you paid by bank transfer or cheque your bank can also help if you know the approximate date of purchase--proof of payment maybe necessary to ensure its within warranty time

How much do these mattresses cost?
Hi Val, Thanks for your questions. Our Bellissimo Duo 4000 are priced at factory direct prices everyday, a queen size would be $2,695. This particular model utilises a pocket spring support module and comfort layers made up of our exclusive micro coil technology ensuring air circulation for a cooler, more hygienic sleep.
Our Bellissimo is a unique design that can be flipped and rotated with both the support module and the comfort module double sided for longer life.
Can I refer you to your nearest store?

Hello John, all of Makin Mattresses products are double sided allowing you to both flip and rotate the mattress to extend its life and comfort over a single sided mattress. Our range is available in all sizes from single to super king and as the manufacturer we can even make a mattress to a custom size to suit any need. - Thank you John for your question, feel free to contact any of our stores and speak to our friendly staff who will be more than happy to give you more information.
Has anyone got positive results from these reviews?
Although monitored by Makin Mattresses this review site is available for anyone to share their experience - Makin Mattresseses does everything possible to followup with customers who have had a poor experience with the view to rectify their concerns. A quicker path to a resolution would be to contact your nearest Makin Mattresses store with your purchase details where we will be swift to act on your concerns. It appears in some instances customers who have raised negative feedback on this site despite our attempts to make contact choose not to respond nor confirm their actual purchase. Unfortunately this leaves us as a business wondering just how many reviews are genuine, so by contacting a store direct with your purchase details would be the most successful path to a quick positive result. Makin Mattresses stands behind the quality of their Australian made products.
Review ratings are !8% Excellent 80% Terrible my maths tell me that that means one star!
Why is this review showing two stars?
Hi Richard, thank you for submitting a question to our Bellissimo reviews, unfortunately I am unable to give you an answer to this one as Makin Mattresses has no control over the star or rating system of the product review site. Perhaps a point to make is "Studies show that a satisfied customer will tell 2-3 people about his experience with a company. A dissatisfied consumer will share their lament with 8-10 people and some will push that number to twenty." perhaps the site uses a weighted system ? Just the same thank you for your question.
Hi Makin Person, Your reply really tells everybody nothing. The simple fact is your product is just not suitable for normal home use! (OK for jails perhaps). Hi, anybody shopping for a new mattress.
If you live in the Newcastle NSW area, do yourself a favour drive past the Newcastle Makin to Ergoflex just past Maitland to find a product that is of a quality and price that has to be seen to be believed.
Yours faithfully,
Richard Baum
Hi Richard, Our reply was simply sharing our opinion on how we think the star system on product review might work after you kindly brought this to our attention with your question. We apologise that you felt this informed yourself and apparently everyone of nothing. Somehow this lead onto yourself stating a "fact" that our product is "not" suitable for normal home use ? We would be very interested in discussing this statement with you further as we have "thousands" of customers that would disagree with this suggested "fact". You then continue to suggest to mattress shoppers to drive right past Newcastle Makin to another company. We would like to think we can please every single one of our customers and this will continue to be our goal at Makin Mattresses, however its a shame you feel the need to remove the ability of allowing others to make their own choice, even the company your suggesting others to visit have had their fair share of disappointed customers, 1 star reviews and very poor experiences and that Richard is also a fact - they can be viewed right here: http://www.productreview.com.au/p/ergo-flex-memory-foam.html?sort=rating_low with part of one review stating " After visiting various mattress stores and reading online reviews. I was persuaded to purchase the Ergoflex due to the memory foam and being highly rated on product review. Unfortunately I don't share the same great experience as everyone else with my mattress. My mattress is very firm and I find myself uncomfortably turning and twisting to get into a good a position." - and yet I'm sure this other company like us attempts to impress, please and keep "all" their customers happy also.
Just recently purchase a new Bellissimo and have commenced the turning over program. May I suggest that side handles be considered in the design on the intermediate mattress. As this mattress is still heavy yet very flexible and difficult to move or place during the process
My wife and i have been turning and rotating our Makin matteress Bellisimo for 6 weeks now and it has'nt made an iota of difference, still the worst mattress we have ever experienced.
Hello Bellissimo Handles, a long over due response but let me reassure you that your feedback was reviewed and considered at the time of posting. Makin Mattresses has considered adding handles to their range of double sided mattresses as I am sure some customers may have seen handles on other brands. These handles are for "positioning" the mattresses only and under regular use to flip or rotate a mattress will over time cause damage to the side panels of the mattress, it was with this in mind that Makin Mattresses made the decision to continue to make double sided mattresses "without" handles. We appreciate your feedback and suggestion.
